I’ve been following this grant over from the Compound V3 Alternative UI and I don’t understand the reason for doing this “alternative front-end”?

What is the painpoints that have been observed with users (in what target group?) that has prompted this project, and what KPI’s will validate if the project solved the problem / provided the intended value for the target users?

I ask because I see no mention of target user groups (for example with Persona’s or equivalent), use-case scenarios, research (usability tests, interviews, observation) on what doesn’t work on https://app.compound.finance that this “different UI/UX” will solve for. And without that, it’s really difficult to give any feedback on the UI/UX of this project.

This project isn’t aimed at addressing any particular shortfall in the existing interface. By introducing an additional interface, the goal is to provide users with a wider range of choices.

Furthermore, having a backup interface in case of issues enhances the protocol’s robustness.

Being open source, this project enables other developers interested in building on Compound to draw inspiration from the code.

I also want to emphasize that I’m open to collaboration and encourage contributions and feedback on this project.

Hello,

Here is the finalized version of the alternative, open-source UI developed thanks to this grant : https://compound-lite.org

(Source code: GitHub - Nma-DeFi/compound-ui)

This UI has been designed to be as intuitive and easy to use as possible.

It interacts only with native Compound smart contracts. However, please use it with caution as it has not yet been audited.

Thank you to the Compound community and the CGP for supporting this project.
